HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 c404W
102. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Transport if. in view of the concern in the Humber ports at the possibility of hazards and emergencies following that of the "Torrey Canyon", he will consider taking steps to appoint an Estuary Emergency Officer and examine other proposals as outlined in the Report of the Hull Junior Chamber of Commerce and Shipping, a copy of which has been sent to him.

Mr. Marsh

No. It would not be appropriate for me to make such an appointment. A copy of the report has been sent to the British Transport Docks Board, who are the Conservancy Authority for the Estuary. I understand that the Board are considering it.
